27:010:001 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed
           unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing
           was true, but the time appointed was long:  and he understood
           the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

27:010:002 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

27:010:003 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my
           mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole
           weeks were fulfilled.

27:010:004 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was
           by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

27:010:005 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain
           man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold
           of Uphaz: 

27:010:006 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the
           appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and
           his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and
           the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

27:010:007 And I Daniel alone saw the vision:  for the men that were with
           me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so
           that they fled to hide themselves.

27:010:008 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and
           there remained no strength in me:  for my comeliness was turned
           in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

27:010:009 Yet heard I the voice of his words:  and when I heard the voice
           of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my
           face toward the ground.

27:010:010 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees
           and upon the palms of my hands.

27:010:011 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved,
           understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand
           upright:  for unto thee am I now sent.  And when he had spoken
           this word unto me, I stood trembling.

27:010:012 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel:  for from the first day
           that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten
           thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come
           for thy words.

27:010:013 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and
           twenty days:  but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came
           to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

27:010:014 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy
           people in the latter days:  for yet the vision is for many
           days.

27:010:015 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face
           toward the ground, and I became dumb.
